Anyhow, after some poking around, I discovered
this post
(http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.jdee/3910/match=+buildfile+exist)
which helped me fix my issue. I went into jde-ant.el and removed two
instances of "delimiter" and now everything works super duper.

I was reading the Debian Weekly News (from 11/30/2004) and one of the blurbs
mentioned putting DWN in RSS format and then also mentioned that Gmane
already does this for all the mailing lists it tracks.

I did a third attempt to get Eclipse working and I got it mostly working
but it didn't jive with our codebase very well and it takes GOBS and GOBS
of memory.

I decided NetBeans took up too much memory as well (200MB at various points
depending on what I was doing) and I kept bumping into weird
NullPointerExceptions in the IDE itself. If I had more time, I'd spend
more time: a) fleshing them out, b) providing bug reports. But the issues
were too sporadic and it was taking too much time to come up to speed to
the point where I could use it all the time. And the VSS plugin was kind
of flakey and made me nervous.

I uninstalled both NetBeans and Eclipse and installed Emacs. I stuck
Viper mode at 2 and after reading documentation for a bit, I finally made
some connections I didn't make the last time around with Emacs and I've
been working with it most of today and part of yesterday without any
issues.

The OpenEmbedded/OpenZaurus folks released 3.5.2 today. I flashed with the
new image and it's pretty cool, though I don't notice any differences.
Mostly I just flashed and pressed a bunch of buttons and then shut it off.

I need to get a case before I really want to bring it around with me.
I'm still paranoid that I'm going to break it while using it.
I need to get a wireless card or figure out how to sync with the docking
station or something similar so I can back up my information.

A month ago, my girlfriend and I wrote a children's book about a bee
who gets stuck. It was pretty wild writing it--I had most of the process
down before I met her, but she definitely filled in the pieces I hadn't
figured my way through yet. It was really great--we were a great team.
Anyhow, so last week we finished moving the book over to PDF format,
printed a copy on the color printer downstairs, and gave it to my friend
to give to his daughter. Turns out she really liked it--which is really
great! And she wrote us a thank you note which was really really neat!

We enjoyed writing the book. We especially enjoy the fact that someone
enjoyed it.

I gave my desktop to my girlfriend's parents because their machine was
about to die (like, serious _death_) and my machine was more machine than
I needed and I figured I'd borrow some spare components from my dad
and after that series of transactions, everyone would be happy. Thus it
transpired and everyone was happy! w00t!

Then I discovered I couldn't put the massive full tower case under either of
my desks and with the fourteen fans (some of which were parts taken from
dismantled B-52 flying fortresses) it sounded like my desk was sitting on
the tarmac of an air field during an air show.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, I decided to get a smaller quieter
case and picked up an Antec Sonata. It's great. Everything I had read
about it was right on down to the fact that you can count exactly how many
times you touched the top of the case due to the amazing ability of the
piano black finish to preserve in a pristine fashion every single detail
of every single fingerprint.

Then after wrestling with the IDE ribbon cables, I decided to pick up two
rounded IDE cables for $8.00 each.

The machine is super duper! Total monetary cost to me so far is $112.
My girlfriend's parents got a machine to replace their very seriously
almost dead one. My dad freed up some room in his computer room.
Everyone is happy!...

Well, except for my girlfriend who's a little unexcited when I spend long
periods of time over several days futzing with hardware.
